C:Version failed return code 10 ?

03 October 2006, 20:32

Hi,

Well this about my sixth attempt at installing ClassicWB_LITE on to my real Amiga 1200.
Yes, I'm pretty convinced its all down to user error. Me!
But I am almost there!
Copied the System.zip file to DH0:
Used the ClassicWB Install disk.
Everything unpacked OK (except for that first error about the time stamp thing, which after reading the posts on here doesn't seem to matter.
But when I attempt to reboot from the Hard Disk DH0: I get the following error:

C:Version: Unknown command
C:Version failed return code 10

So, I rebooted form the Workbench floppy disk and I can see that all the files are there. I can launch programs such as Dopus etc but of course it has to access the boot disk, the floppy!
Which defeats the whole object of having the hard disk.

Can anybody help me with this problem?
TIA

Hi,

Well, I didn't receive any response to my problem so I decided to try another approach suggested here.
I tried the Hard Disk connected to the PC method.
I simply swapped out a hard disk from an external USB 2 enclosure I have connected to my PC and installed the Amiga Disk.
Fired up WinUAE, mounted the Amiga Disk, and copied over all the System files. Whilst I was at it, I copied over all the Games and Utils I wanted to DH1.
Put the Amiga Disk back in the A1200 and everything is up and running!
This was the best, fastest and simplest method to use.

Sorry there was no response. I'm not around these forums much at the moment.

I have no idea why the first method failed. Looks like the copyright workbench files weren't copied over before you zipped everything up. Perhaps you didn't get it installed via WinUAE before zipping the package as outlined in the instructions?

Anyway, guess it doesn't matter as it's working - yes, the WinUAE method is the fastest way to install the ClassicWB!

It is already outlined in the supplied instructions as "Method 1":

Hi Bloodwych,

No problem about replying to my post.
I appreciate all the effort you have put in to creating a well packaged Workbench for us all to enjoy. Thanks.
I think you should be entitled to have a life as well ;-)

I have made a couple of observations since playing with WinUAE and my real Amiga.

We all look back on the Amiga with affection, but perhaps through rose-tinted spectacles. Before the hard disk install I started remembering how impatient I used to be using it with just floppys. It used to be a real pain in the backside swapping those disks all the time. A hard disk equipped Amiga completely transforms it in to a whole new experience. But in the old days it was were rare for games that could be hard disk installed. Thank goodness for WHDLoad! I've just been playing my fave game Cannon Fodder as a hard disk installed game. Very Cool.
However, I have discovered that a real Amiga with just the standard 2 Meg of Ram can't seem to handle most of these WHDLoad games. So the real Amiga is going back up in to the loft.
I'm staying with WinUAE and ClassicWB LITE.

One other thing, when I launch DOpus 4 it isn't configured like your screenshots. The options to Arc, LHA and ZIP (and other buttons) are missing. I'm sure I can set it up at some point to be the same, just seemed a bit strange.
Anyway, thanks again for helping me revisit those great Amiga memories.

Sounds like the Dopus config file is missing, but it's definitely there in the packs on the webpage – just checked myself. Try re-installing and if you're sticking with WinUAE, you can go for the FULL or above packages. Be aware however that certain WHDload games will only work with certain WinUAE settings (like JIT CPU disabled and “more compatible” enabled), so if you’re having problems do a search on this board.

As for WHDload itself, yeah it's a great thing! Did you try booting with maximum memory by holding down one of the mouse buttons?

I think you can get rid of "preload" tool types in the icons as well. Even then however, there will be titles that just can't physically run on a 2MB A1200 which is a shame.

It must be close though - some have these packs running on a CD32, which also only has 2MB RAM. It will have on average a few hundred Kbytes more due to having no hard drive and disk drive buffers however, just a shame it can sometimes make all the difference.

There is a way of reducing/removing some buffers on the A1200 (hard drive ones are usually the biggest and depend on what you set them to in HDtoolbox for each partition), but there is still no guarantee enough ram will be available.

C:Version fails if version.library in LIBS: is missing!
This must be copied from Workbench.

Hmm possible, it was always present on my system though? Perhaps it was altered and made unusable by the virus.

andreas · 12 October 2006, 12:43

Is C:version there too?
Check back ... it says "unknown command", which means the same as "file not found" in this case.
Usually, if the file is there AND corrupt, you get an "Error code 121".

Hi Andreas, my problem was fixed just by getting rid of the virus. All the required files and libs were there.

The cause of my old issue was probably nothing like those causing Organism sevens issues, just similar error code.

Nice to hear that
